The Memorial Giving Program offers families a meaningful way to honour the memory of their loved ones by directing donations to Grace Hospital or Grace Hospice. Memorial gifts help support patient care, staff initiatives, programs, and equipment that enhances the quality of care at both sites.

In Memoriam Tribute

Families often include a memorial tribute in their loved one’s obituary to inform the community of their wishes.

Suggested obituary wording: “In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Grace Hospital Foundation.”

How We Support Families

Once a tribute is established, we track memorial donations as they are received and provide the next of kin with regular updates, including a list of donors and their mailing addresses.

Donations may be made online, by phone, in person, or by mail. Donation slips and postage-paid envelopes are also available for use at the funeral service.

Memorial Recognition

When the cumulative total of a tribute reaches $2,500, we contact the next of kin to discuss recognition opportunities. Loved ones may be honoured on the Memorial Stone in the Memory Garden by Sturgeon Creek, a peaceful space for reflection and remembrance. The Memory Garden provides a lasting tribute to loved ones in perpetuity.
